A government watchdog reported that several senior-level staffers of the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC), the people who are responsible for the US stock and option exchanges, frequented pornographic websites while on the clock.

A senior attorney at the SEC's Washington headquarters spent up to eight hours a day looking at and downloading pornography;

An accountant was blocked more than 16,000 times in a month from visiting websites classified as "sex" or "pornography";

Seventeen of the employees were "at a senior level," earning salaries of up to $222,418.

Mouth open. Moment of silence.

Before I can even accuse these guys of a porn addiction, I have to wonder how they can get away with something like this? At work? How could their time be that expendable that they can spend "up to eight hours a day" at HotSexDotCom or whatever website they were on?

With the "word that starts with a 'd'" in their hand, the economy was crumbling. People lost hard-earned money and jobs, and families are stressed out all over America. But, hey, Johnny SEC guy has a ton of money, and with all his "releasing," he probably isn't worried about it.

And yeah ... let's accuse them all of a porn addiction now. And call them big fat jerk faces.

Can a sex or porn addiction be excusable here? Or are these people just a-holes?
